A350 "Lausanne" in Palma: More legroom — but new questions for the island

Answer

Why is the A350 noise level relevant for people living near Palma Airport?

Because larger aircraft can change how noise is felt around the airport, especially in the evening. Even if the A350 is quieter in the cabin, that does not automatically mean less disturbance on the ground. For neighbourhoods near Son Sant Joan, evening operations are still a sensitive issue.
